Taapsee Pannu starrer ‘Thappad’ has garnered a lot of praise for its realistic concept and heartfelt story. While most have been loving the movie, ‘Baaghi 3’ director Ahmed Khan found the concept of the movie very strange. He says he does not understand that a slap will decide whether a couple should stay together or not.

In an interview with Mumbai Mirror, speaking about the concept of ‘Thappad’, Ahmed Khan said, “I found the concept of Thappad very strange. I don’t understand just because the husband slapped his wife, will she leave him forever? If she has a problem, she too should slap her husband twice in return.”

He added, “If I ever slap my wife, she can slap me back and end it. If I tell her that I don’t want to be with her anymore, then she can also tell me the same. But, will a slap decide whether a couple can stay together or not? But then, everyone has a different point of view and way of looking at it.

When Taapsee was asked about her opinion on this comment, she said he does not feel the need to respond to this, but she added, “He makes films based on what he finds correct and it is the same for us. At the end of the day, it is the audience who gives out the final verdict.

We have always seen relationships where there are love and respect. But, there might be those kinds of relationships too, of which he is talking about. He can continue to make films he is comfortable with. We will do what we are comfortable doing,” she added.

‘Thappad’ is directed by Anubhav Sinha and it also starred Pavail Gulati and Dia Mirza. The movie has been getting immense love by the audience so far and it is doing well at the box office too.
